HICO & LOCO Magnetic Stripe Cards
A magnetic stripe card is a type of card capable of storing data by modifying the magnetism of tiny iron-based magnetic particles on a band of magnetic material on the card. Currently we use two types of magnetic stripes:
- LOCO (low coercivity) -These cards are good for short-term applications. LOCO magnetic stripe cards are generally brown in color and they are encoded at a low-intensity magnetic field (300 Oersted). low coefficient of coercivity of magnetic stripe
- HICO (high coercivity) – These cards are recommended for a majority of applications. HiCo magnetic stripe cards are typically black in color and they are encoded with a stronger magnetic field (2750 Oersted).
Security Cards
To solve the problem of counterfeiting all kinds of cards, especially ID cards, Ariadcard offers a variety of factory-printed anti-counterfeiting and anti-fraud solutions that make protecting the smart cards , identification cards and proximity cards from fraudulent .
UV printing
Ariadcard’s UV printing service allows custom text or graphics that are invisible to the naked eye to be added to an identification card. When the card is viewed under black light, the text will appear, verifying the card’s authenticity.
Holograms
Holograms are 3D images that add many different types visual security elements to the ID cards, allowing for quick visual authentication. Holograms are added to ID cards by way of holographic laminates. Holograms are thin transparent films that contain holographic images, text and patterns. Holograms typically become visible or transform when tilted or viewed at certain angles.
Micro Text
Micro text uses extremely detailed printing that is virtually unnoticeable to prevent unauthorized scanning or copying of identification cards. Micro text can be added to a card as simple text or can be incorporated into a design, and is verifiable through a microscope or magnifying glass.
Ghost image
A “ghost image” is a smaller, semi-transparent copy of a photograph or image printed elsewhere on the ID card. These half-translucent images are made possible by changing the opacity of the 2nd smaller photo on the ID card software prior to printing.
Digital Photos
Photographs are the most basic security feature that we can add to the ID card, because they offer an easy way to quickly confirm a person’s identity. While photos help reduce the possibility of fraud, they are not foolproof as photographs can be replicated using optical scanners and copiers. They are a good first line of security, nonetheless.
VIP Card
VIP card programs can be one of the best ways to increase the loyalty of the customers and boost the revenue that generate from that customer over time. In fact, studies have shown that a repeat customer will spend 67% more than someone who walks through the door for the first time. When you show a customer that you value their patronage by offering a VIP or rewards program—you start building a relationship that makes them feel special and valued by your business. While it’s true that many VIP programs involve discounts and the cost of setting up the program, when executed correctly, will improve revenue and the overall health of your business over time.
